By RIIR you mean “Rewrite it in Rust”? I looked it up because I was hoping to get something more substantive from the post, but that’s all I could find.

People pay to go to school where there are teachers that “make you work”. Some people claim it’s gatekeeping or access to the brand name of the school, but I think it’s more than that. Most of them know they won’t read the (text)books and l
